Stakemoney: The advertised stakemoney shall be to the tune of Rs. 3 crore including cups/ trophies for the Season.

Sweepstake Races: The MRC Ltd. Will conduct 3 sweepstake races during the Season all of which are Million races. These races will attract the best 3-year-old horses from across the country.

Horses: Currently there are about 425 horses stabled at the MRC Limited and about 50 outstation horses are expected to participate in the races.

Trainers: About 24 local Trainers and a few outstation Trainers from other centres are expected to race their charges during the Season.

The Club encourages trainers from the other centres to take a “B” Trainer’s Licence at the MRC Ltd. Throughout the year so that this would pave the way for those who are desirous of taking “B” licence at MRC Ltd. And keep a few horses permanently at MRC Ltd. This in turn will encourage some of the outstation owners to send a few horses to Mysuru to be trained under the charge of the “B” Licence holders who may already be training for them elsewhere. The Club feels that this would not only improve the quality of racing of Mysuru but also increase the competition.

Jockeys: About 75 Jockeys including all the top riders in the Indian Racing circuit are expected to ride at Mysuru during the Season.

Totalisators: Adequate number of Betting Terminals will be in operation with upgraded software.

Rate of admission: The entrance charges for the public to witness the Mysore Summer Races 2023 is fixed at Rs. 200. However, for the off-course betting days, the entrance charges would be Rs. 100.

Social Media: The MRC Ltd. has a presence on Facebook and Twitter. It also has its website — www.mysoreraceclub.com. Live racing can be viewed by logging on to the Club’s website.
